#verify — Public Fediverse posts

Buterin (Ethereum Founder) suggests that AI-assisted “formal verification” could help secure crypto networks, smart contracts, and cryptographic systems against software flaws.

“If you formally verify end-to-end, then you are proving not just that some description of the protocol is secure in theory, but that the specific piece of code that the user runs is secure in practice." https://decrypt.co/368226/ethereum-founder-vitalik-buterin-ai-verification-secure-crypto-networks #Crypto #CryptoSecurity #Ethereum #BlockChain #Buterin #AI #Verify #SmartContracts #Cryptography #Software #Security #SoftwareBugs

Understanding the Occupy Democrats Post on Facebook about the Kennedy Center – Perplexity & DrWeb

Editor’s Note: I had been following the Facebook group called “Occupy Democrats,” for some time. A post today in my timeline was surprising. I did read it. It on point in many ways, but feels over the top, dramatized, inflamatory? Not a slam on the group; I was (my bad) unaware of it’s background (duh). So I asked Perplexity to bring me up-to-speed, and this is the analysis of their post on the Kennedy Center. It notes their ofter post unsigned material, cited sources. I am not opposed to left wing groups; nor opposed to progressive Democrats. I know how these posts have a “slant” and strong POV. That’s what free speech is all about. Good wishes to Occupy Democrats!
A lesson even for an old whizbanger from the old days like me. Verify. Verify. Verify. –DrWeb

Understanding the Occupy Democrats Post on the Kennedy Center

The above message circulating from Occupy Democrats appears to be written in the editorial style typical of the organization, which is known for publishing unsigned, inflammatory content without individual bylines.1 This explains why there’s no signature or author name on the post.2

About Occupy Democrats

Occupy Democrats is a left-wing Facebook page and media outlet founded in 2012 by twin brothers Rafael and Omar Rivero.1 The organization is designed to operate as a “counterbalance to the Republican Tea Party” and has grown to become one of the largest progressive political pages on Facebook with over 10 million followers.1 Their content is characterized by hyperpartisan messaging, clickbait headlines, and highly emotional language that frequently uses terms like “BREAKING” and emphasizes outrage.3

The Rivero brothers manage the page collectively and rarely sign individual posts, treating Occupy Democrats as a brand voice rather than attributing content to specific authors.2 This is standard practice for their operation—they publish unsigned content that represents the organization’s collective perspective rather than individual authorship.1

The Kennedy Center Situation

The substance of what Occupy Democrats posted is largely accurate based on reporting from legitimate news sources. The Washington National Opera is indeed considering leaving the Kennedy Center due to Trump’s February 2025 takeover of the institution.45 Key facts include:

• Trump appointed himself chair of the Kennedy Center and installed Richard Grenell as president65
• Ticket sales have plummeted by approximately 40%, with performances now at 60% capacity compared to 80-90% before Trump’s takeover45
• Artistic Director Francesca Zambello did describe the building as “tainted” in interviews47
• Donors have fled and sent angry messages to the opera company, with some comparing the situation to 1930s authoritarianism57

The New York Times, The Guardian, The Washington Post, and other mainstream outlets have all reported extensively on this crisis at the Kennedy Center.68 The Occupy Democrats post appears to be a highly dramatized synthesis of these legitimate news reports, repackaged in their signature inflammatory style.13

How To Verify, Claim & Confirm Store Site Ownership for Google Merchant in WordPress? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xMVRwzJD3Q 🎬🛒✅ #Verify #Claim #Confirm #Store #Google #Guide

This is your regular reminder to make and check your backups.

I run weekly verification of my backups, and this week brought a surprise: some of my honeymoon photos were silently corrupted. When the disk tried to read the data and failed, SMART triggered an alert for Uncorrectable Sectors, but if I hadn't been verifying, it never would have tried to read that data.

I have a second local copy and an offsite copy. Hard disk was 6.6 yrs old, but only 16TB written (used for archiving), 2386TB read (weekly verification).

The bottomline rule is this: Never ever trust anyone asking you to #verify or reset your keys and/or passwords. Ask first if you really need to confirm.

Yes, even if it is coming from what appears to be a legitimate email domain name because it can be spoofed!

Absolutely no one will ever ask you to verify your account in the #Fediverse network. It is not part of the experience. Sure, there were third-party services who did this a few years back during the Twitter Migration 2.0 but those were primarily targeted to well-established accounts from Twitter (and usually journalists), not to random people. Not you. Not me. And was definitely not in a spammy way.

Always remember, if you are not sure, just ask. There is nothing wrong with asking. If people laughed at you or ridiculed you for asking about a "simple" or "common sense" thing, block them (maybe one day you'll have the last laugh too).

You know what "askx means?

A-sk, and it shall be given = intelligence
S-eek, and you shall find = knowledge
K-nock, and it shall be opened = wisdom

Remember, A.S.K.
